Pancakes according to Isabella Potì – Italian Cuisine


Chef Isabella Potì of the Bros restaurant in Lecce, a Michelin star, and her recipe for a Christmas brunch, based on dried fruit. His pancakes are in fact with …

Mango. Isabella makes pancakes with mango. After Cornetto Algida, Potì returns to lend its name and face to another brand, this time the dried fruit Happy Belly, an Amazon brand. Unfailing on Christmas tables, dried fruit becomes a healthy but delicious Christmas brunch in Isabella's hands. "Dried and dried fruit has always been a fundamental component of my daily diet and I love, when possible, to include it in my creations in the kitchen," explained Isabella. «Working on these recipes with Happy Belly products was like taking a dip in the past, going back to my childhood, when in the family we had fun experimenting with new combinations with dried fruit. An inevitable ingredient during the Christmas holidays, it also belongs to my tradition to simply finish the meal with walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds or eat it for breakfast combined with a natural yogurt .

Mango? Reidratalo

Isabella's advice is to rehydrate the dried mango, as is done in Salento with dried tomatoes, giving it a new, much fresher consistency! It would be perfect to give a note of acidity inside a chocolate cake or pancakes with mascarpone cream.
